[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An ex colleague placed her 9yo dd for adoption. The reason she gave me (we were cubemates) is that her dd was annoying. The state made her pay child support until the little girl was adopted (at 11.5).[/quote]

This is beyond awful.  I have a nine year old and yes, she can be annoying sometime, but to give her up for adoption?? I can't even imagine..  That kid is going to have serious issues.  Nothing like your mom throwing you away to make you feel good about yourself  :( [/quote]

My sister-in-law's late mother had 5 kids with 3 different men.  At various stages, some would live with her, but usually she either dumped them with family or just plain kicked them out.  They were ages 8 to 18.  She started dating my brother at 16, my SIL by her mom that she was moving and that the new place had no room for SIL.  So, my SIL moved in with us at 16.

That woman was physically, emotionally and verbally abusive, however, she was a perfect community volunteer.  After her death, all the kids exalt her like she's Mother Theresa, and they often post on Facebook about how much they miss her.  [/quote]
